In the music industry, certainly the ‘production’ side of things, we’ve all done shitty gigs. The sort of gig s that you know from the moment you get booked that it’s not going to be fun.
Being female in this industry this sometimes works in my favour, sometimes not.
So i get a call from a promoter who wants to put on a show locally and i got recommended to supply all the sound (i run a small PA rental company).
I ask him the usual questions, “What’s the load in/out time?” “What’s the technical spec of the band?” “What’s your budget?” etc etc.
I just heard my mom tell my brother, “when you die, you will go outside and garden until your father says you’re done” and it took me a second to realize that my brother was playing a videogame and this was not a theological discussion.
